Under the background of the rapid development of social media, video storytelling plays an essential role in the development of a brand. More and more videos with the personal brand have become popular among the public. However, in the context of the storytelling approach, personal branding through storytelling has been rarely reported in the literature. In this study, showing the YouTuber, Li Ziq
Several channeled emissions at the Sysav water treatment plant for hazardous waste as of December 2021 exceed permitted levels of unknown volatile organic compounds (VOCs) stated in the European Parliament councils’ directives 2010/75/EU. A range of possible treatment methods are briefly discussed before zeolite adsorption, and thermal regeneration followed by catalytic combustion is decided to b
The main drivers of the alarming biodiversity decline are land use and land use change, primarily due to agriculture. It is therefore important to assess the impact on biodiversity caused by production of food and to do so, life cycle assessment (LCA) is a method widely used. Since the UNEP-SETAC provisionally recommended the method by Chaudhary et al. (2015, updated 2018) for impact assessments o
The enzyme dermatan sulfate epimerase 1 epimerizes glucuronic acid on chondroitin sulfate into iduronic acid giving dermatan sulfate resulting in increased flexibility of the glycosaminoglycan. The increased flexibility results in changed interactions with some proteins such as growth factors, cytokines, and angiogenic factors, and recent studies suggest that it also plays an important role in the
Like other African countries, Kenya’ economy and food security is heavily dependent on agriculture. Climate change has led to variability in temperature and precipitation, and extreme weather events such as droughts and floods, all of which can significantly impact crop productivity and food security in the long-term. Furthermore, water scarcity poses a critical challenge for Kenya, particularly i
Upplevelser hos människor som söker asyl eller flyktingstatus präglas av olika prövningar och svåra upplevelser innan, under och efter migrationen, vilket gör dessa individer mer mottagliga för att utveckla psykisk ohälsa. Denna scoping review syftade till att kartlägga och utforska relationen mellan postmigrationsstressorer (såsom utmaningar relaterade till legal status, ekonomi, boendesituation,Experiences of people seeking refuge and asylum are characterized by diverse adversities before, during, and after migration, making these individuals more susceptible to developing mental ill health. This scoping review intended to map and explore the relation between post-migration stressors (such as struggles related to legal status, finances, housing, and discrimination in the context of reset
Background Lactobacillus reuteri converts glycerol to 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3HP) and 1,3-propanediol (1,3PDO) via 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3HPA) as an intermediate using enzymes encoded in its propanediol-utilization (pdu) operon. Since 3HP, 1,3PDO and 3HPA are important building blocks for the bio-based chemical industry, L. reuteri can be an attractive candidate for their production. However
The term gastrointestinal neuromuscular disease describes a clinically heterogeneous group of disorders of children and adults in which symptoms are presumed or proven to arise as a result of neuromuscular, including interstitial cell of Cajal, dysfunction. Such disorders commonly have impaired motor activity, i.e. slowed or obstructed transit with radiological evidence of transient or persistent
In this work the synthesis of waterborne polyurethane/nanosilica nanocomposites by using two differ-ent strategies is presented, starting from a vinyl terminated polyurethane prepolymer (PUP) based onisophorone diisocyanate and polypropylene glycol, and varying the nanosilica content. In one case, thePUP was dispersed in an aqueous solution containing glycerol-functionalized colloidal nanosilica p
Background: Mass screening for celiac disease (CD) as a public health intervention is controversial. Prior to implementation, acceptability to the targeted population should be addressed. We aimed at exploring adolescents' and parents' experiences of having the adolescents' CD detected through mass screening, and their attitudes towards possible future mass screening. Methods: All adolescents (n =
Objective To determine coverage and generalisability of data in the Swedish Biologics Register ARTIS. Methods Patients with adult onset rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were identified in the National Patient Register and the Swedish Rheumatology Quality Register, including the ARTIS cohort of patients exposed to biological agents. Exposure to etanercept and adalimumab between 2006 and 2008 was determine
The aim was to investigate whole-body and red marrow absorbed doses in treatments of neuroblastoma (NB) and adult neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) with (131)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine and to propose a simple method for determining the activity to administer when dosimetric data for the individual patient are not available.
This Letter presents a search for contact interactions in the dielectron and dimuon channels using data from proton-proton collisions produced by the LHC at,root s = 7 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector. The data sample, collected in 2011, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.08 and 1.21 fb(-1) in the e(+)e(-) and mu(+)mu(-) channels, respectively. No significant deviations from the st
Using data recorded in 2011 with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, a search for evidence of extra spatial dimensions has been performed through an analysis of the diphoton final state. The analysis uses data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.12 fb(-1) of root s = 7 TeV proton-proton collisions. The diphoton invariant mass (m(gamma gamma)) spectrum is observed to be in g
New basis sets of the atomic natural orbital (ANO) type have been developed for the lanthanide atoms La-Lu. The ANOs have been obtained from the average density matrix of the ground and lowest excited states of the atom, the positive ions, and the atom in an electric field. Scalar relativistic effects are included through the use of a Douglas-Kroll-Hess Hamiltonian. Multiconfigurational wave funct
The effects of a driver assistance system for keeping safe speed and safe distance (referred to as SASPENCE) on driver behaviour, reactions and acceptance were evaluated in a test carried out in 2006. Twenty test drivers, recruited by ads, drove two times (once with the system off and once with the system on) in real traffic conditions along a 50 km long test route containing urban and rural roads
Conventional agriculture and animal husbandry are leading causes of greenhouse gas emissions,environmental degradation, and biodiversity loss. Biocyclic Vegan Agriculture (BVA) is an approach that aims to address the concerns of modern agriculture and provide a sustainable and ethical alternative. Through the heuristic lens of the Multi-Level Perspective, where BVA serves as a potential niche, thi
The occurrence of climate change will have a significant impact on society and adapting to a more sustainable environment is of key importance. The dangers of climate change will include temperature and precipitation patterns becoming more extreme creating a substantial impact on society. Greece’s location and climate make it particularly vulnerable to a changing climate and climate impact assessm
Mountains provide a variety of ecosystem services, such as drinking water, which sustains not only mountain communities but also people living further downstream. While climate change threatens most ecosystems, its negative impacts are up to three times greater in high altitudes. As well as changing the water cycle this further accelerates climate change. Although they contribute comparably little
This study examines the challenges Sweden faces in implementing legislation against human trafficking for sexual purposes, analyzing the issue through conflict theory and feminist perspectives. Employing qualitative content analysis, the research identifies and categorizes causes such as demand, misogyny, inadequate legislation, and socioeconomic vulnerability. The primary research questions addre
